Bug Description
[Impact]
* After resizing the Xfce Settings Manager to be wider, users can no longer resize it smaller.
[Test Plan]
* Resize the Xfce Settings Manager window to be 5 columns wide
* Attempt to resize the window down to 4 columns wide
* Without the fix, the user is unable to resize the window smaller
* With the fix, the user is able to resize the window smaller
[Where problems could occur]
* This is the only change being addressed with the upload, and is a verified upstream fix that only affects resizing windows smaller
[Other notes]
* Xfce recently moved from Bugzilla to GitLab. New upstream bug: https:/
* Commit: https:/
* Both packages have been uploaded to the Xubuntu SRU Staging PPA: https:/
[Original Bug Report]
When using the Settings Manager window, I am unable to shrink the window horizontally (compress to the left) once I have expanded it and icons have joined the top row. Now they're all stuck on a single row and will not allow the window to shrink. Vertical shrinking seems unaffected.

When attempting to resize the Settings Manager window, you can resize height-wise in both directions. However, when resizing width-wise, you can only make the window grow, it will not shrink. You need to either use xfconf-query to affect the /last/window-width setting (while the manager is not running) or delete the xfce4-settings- manager. xml to reset to default.
